Hot food is great, but only after it cools and that can seem like a really long time when you're hungry. Redditor sarahjewel figured out a clever (and tasty) solution for cooling your oatmeal in an instant.

I make oatmeal at least 4 times a week for my family and got annoyed at having to wait for it to cool down while having it get super thick in the process. I came up with an idea and tried it and it works wonderfully: Add frozen blueberries (you coukd probably use any frozen fruit, but I haven't tried others yet)! They thaw super fast and cool down the oatmeal almost instantly. Plus bonus fruit serving!

In fact, theoretically you could put any kind of frozen fruit in any dish that's too hot. Definitely better than cooling it with ice cubes...because who wants a bunch of water in their oatmeal?
